      making by the Underwriters, (ii) the third paragraph of text, concerning the terms of the offering by the Underwriters and (iii) the eighth, ninth and tenth paragraphs of text, concerning stabilization, short-positions and penalty bids created by the

      be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any
      indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection.&#160; In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
      participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the
      indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) provided that in the event of such assumption the action may not be compromised or settled by the indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be
      unreasonably withheld. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal
      expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.&#160; The indemnifying party shall not be liable to the
      indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 in respect of any action compromised or settled by the indemnified party, unless the written consent of the indemnifying party shall have been obtained to such compromise or settlement
      (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).&#160;No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or
      threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i)
      includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or on behalf of any indemnified party.</div>

      claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
      actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities.&#160; If, however, the allocation provided by
      the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such
      indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
      resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.&#160; The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be
      deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in
      the table on the cover page of the Prospectus.&#160; The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
      relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties&#8217; relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.&#160; The Company
      and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
      allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d).&#160; The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
      thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.&#160; Notwithstanding the
      provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds
      the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.&#160; No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
      11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters&#8217; obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
      obligations and not joint.</div>

      Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 and/or Article 6(5) of the Commission Delegated Regulation EU 2016/1052 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 as it applies in domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (as amended by the Technical Standards (Market Abuse
      Regulation) (EU Exit) Instrument 2019 (FCA 2019/45)), as applicable with regard to regulatory technical standards for the conditions applicable to buy-back programs and stabilization measures. The Stabilizing Manager for its own account may, to the
      extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations and in compliance therewith, over-allot and/or effect transactions in over-the-counter market or as otherwise in connection with the distribution of the Securities with a view to supporting the
      market price of the Securities at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market, but in doing so the Stabilizing Manager shall act as principal and not as agent of the Company and any loss resulting from overallotment and
      stabilization shall be borne, and any profit arising therefrom shall be beneficially retained, by the Stabilizing Manager. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilizing Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager) will
      undertake any stabilization action. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed so as to require the Company to issue in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Securities specified in Schedule I hereto. Such stabilization, if
      commenced, may be discontinued at any time and shall be conducted by the Stabilizing Manager in accordance with all applicable laws and directives.</div>

        expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.&#160; Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in
        excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason
        of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.&#160; No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
        such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters&#8217; obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.</div>

    indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) provided that in the event of such assumption the action may not be compromised or settled by the indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be
    unreasonably withheld. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal
    expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.&#160; The indemnifying party shall not be liable to the
    indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 in respect of any action compromised or settled by the indemnified party, unless the written consent of the indemnifying party shall have been obtained to such compromise or settlement
    (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or
    threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i)
    includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or on behalf of any indemnified party.</div>

    claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
    actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities.&#160; If, however, the allocation provided by
    the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such
    indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted
    in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.&#160; The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to
    be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on
    the cover page of the Prospectus.&#160; The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
    information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties&#8217; relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.&#160; The Company and the
    Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
    allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d).&#160; The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
    thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.&#160; Notwithstanding the
    provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds
    the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.&#160; No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
    11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters&#8217; obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
    obligations and not joint.</div>

    Securities Act of 1933 (the &#8220;<u>Act</u>&#8221;), relating to the issuance by Becton Finance of its &#8364;800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.029% Notes due 2036 (the &#8220;<u>Notes</u>&#8221;). The Indenture (as defined below) provides that the Notes are to be
    guaranteed by the Company (such guarantee, together with the Notes, the &#8220;<u>Securities</u>&#8221;). The Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to a Prospectus, dated May 2, 2024 (which forms a part of and is included in the Registration Statement),

    obligations of the Company (the &#8220;<u>Guarantee</u>&#8221;), as amended and supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of June 7, 2024 (the &#8220;<u>Fifth Supplemental Indenture</u>&#8221; and, together with the Base Indenture, the &#8220;<u>Indenture</u>&#8221;),
